A lovely place to spend an hour or two. In winter, keep your eyes peeled for curlews, lapwings and snipes set against a backdrop of snow-dusted hills. In summer, the wildflower meadows come to life and all manner of insect life can be enjoyed. Centre stage is a pretty little lochan, known simply as The Lochan. The reserve is within walking distance of both Moffat and Beattock.
